Snow Crazy

The founding of the Ski Club of Great Britain in 1903 marked the beginning of a new era in winter sports. Twelve men gathered at the Café Royal in London, setting the stage for skiing's evolution. At that time, renowned ski destinations like Val d'Isère and Courchevel were yet to emerge, and Zermatt was primarily known for climbing the Matterhorn rather than skiing. This historical account captures the origins of a club that would shape the future of skiing and popularize mountain resorts.
